The exhibition is all setup and ready to go. There are some amazing trees this year. Banksias, Kunzeas, a display of shohin callistemons, a mind blowing casuarina forest and some spectacular eucalyptus trees.
So if you're in Canberra this weekend come and check it out. :tu:

Here are the last of my photos. The tree that won peoples choice was a beautiful fig but i didn't take a picture of it with my Nikon. So apologies for that. Hopefully other members took a picture as it was a very nice tree.
